October 14, 2013 19:28
Paradip Port today resumed partial operations, after suffering extensive damage due to Cyclone Phailin that lashed the east coast two days ago.
The full operations would, however, take a few days more in view of heavy siltation, damages and grim weather.
"We could resume partial operations today despite stormy weather and have allowed 13-metre draft vessels," Paradip Port Trust, Odisha, Chairman Sudhanshu Shekhara Mishra told PTI.
The port could restore normalcy to some extent through adequate contingency plans and restoration measures, he said, adding that "day-and-night untiring efforts by officers and staff of the port" also helped resume operations immediately.
